Apple, Potato & Bacon Pie with Pistachio Crust
A great addition to a thanksgiving meal, earthy potatoes, sweet apples and smokey bacon pair extremely well with aged white cheddar, goat cheese and onion. The twist in this pie comes from the pistachios carefully massaged into the crispy, flaky, buttery crust which tenderly cradles all these amazing ingredients.
